 This paper presents a survey on hyperspectral-based remote sensing supported by UAV platforms. Hyperspectral data provides more information than traditional RGB imagery or multispectral data due to its ability to measure hundreds of bands. Hyperspectral acquisition devices include various sensor types, acquisition modes, and UAV-compatible sensors that can be used for both research and commercial purposes. Pre-flight operations and post-flight pre-processing are necessary to ensure the usefulness of hyperspectral data. Several toolboxes are presented to simplify hyperspectral data of processing for common users. Research works focusing on the symbiosis between UAV hyperspectral for agriculture and forestry applications are reviewed, highlighting the benefits of this technology in assertive interventions in these areas.
